We have a lot of vocations. We have three deacons and one in training and two applying.

We also have a seminarian studying somewhere, I believe.

Missing: don’t know of any nuns. Just goes to show that you have to be able to see something in person sometimes to be able to consider whether you are called to it. The parish has no sisters, and hasn’t for awhile, but it has active deacons and priests who keep encouraging men to consider the diaconate.

I really think the young women are drawn to the orders with habits. The street-clothes orders are dying away.

Good sign for us. (in my opinion)
